gronx VS validator

maybe use gronx https://github.com/adhocore/gronx

Check https://github.com/adhocore/gronx, there are more cron libraries, check if they have something like IsValid or MustParse.

personally, i would have used gronx/tasker as a task daemon that runs tasks on specific time as defined by Cron expression

for standalone use that supports crontab format file: https://github.com/adhocore/gronx#task-daemon

View on GitHub

also how do you use Next time? just being able to know next time is of no use as well. IsDue is meant to be used as if IsDue(...) { /* run something */ } it will be supported natively as task scheduler in long run: https://github.com/adhocore/gronx/issues/1

go-playground/validator

If you want to know all the available validation in Gin. Then you can look at this package because Gin uses this package under the hood. Package: https://github.com/go-playground/validator Specific-file: https://github.com/go-playground/validator/blob/master/baked_in.go#L73

Now it has most of the Playground validator's common checks and a few own tricks.

In Go I've found this package - https://github.com/go-playground/validator. It seems popular in the community, but it is tag-based. It looks like if I wanted to use it - I would have to basically duplicate structs.

so I am working on a ecommerce api as a hobby project which is mostly inspired by wtf dial project I like to use validator package to remove boilerplate over my domain package for example take a look https://github.com/mortezadadgar/ecommerce-api/blob/b0bf43d042d62fdca1c2d097ec51b05bc539cef2/domain/users.go#L33 I have to option either add validate.Struct() to my domain which is suggested to avoid by author of wtf peoject or add it to handler which I doubt is a good idea as it's not in business logic of handler and makes unit testing harder

I use https://github.com/go-playground/validator, but honestly, I am not a fan. I just haven’t found anything better.

IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here
